WG9.8 – Gender, Diversity and ICT
Feministic approaches to AI
Workshop Chairs: Sisse Finken, Johanna Sefyrin, Marisa D’Mello
Like other technologies, AI is also a platform for discursive struggles. We invite papers that address problematizations of AI from a feministic approach or other theoretical perspectives that explore how multiple axes of identity such as race, gender, age etc., intersect, and influence our interaction with and impact of AI. Approaches could, for instance, be feminist and other theoretically grounded concerns related to algorithmic justice, bias and extractivism, overly optimistic imaginaries of AI, and the kinds of problems they are expected to “solve” as well as the futures they are imagined to contribute to. Within this sustainability issues related to AI, AI related to decay and repair, GAI in teaching and higher education, work and AI, AI as constituted by complex relations of human and non-human/more-than-human bodies
